usually the medicine to control the people who became an addicted only available on rehabilitation center and i don't know if these medicine exist or not but if they're really exist i think only for those who became heavy addicted already trying that but fortunately i wasn't ever try it before
In my opinion, there is existing meds for treating addiction problem. This medicine is same as morphine that used to calm the patient. Gambling addiction might lead to serious disorder once it is not treat early. Many says that it is not a big deal but in reality this cause a total devastation on a life of a person just like what on the resort world manila philippines.

As far as I know, gambling addiction can be worst than being a druggie.

For impulsive gambling, I suggest you to consult Physicians as they are the only people who's got the right to give prescriptions.

I never thought that there is something that can cure impulsive gambling. It's a mental problem so I guess you need psychological treatment and medicines aren't going to work out. You only need counseling and anything that's related to proper control of your emotion which can be done by those experts.

For those into gambling have you ever tried to took some medicine just to control your impulsive gambling?

Like the Magic Bottle?  Cool
Nah, i never took any medicine to stop myself from gambling. i think i never will, i keep everything in check! medicines aren't going to help anyways, if one has serious gambling addiction then one has to go through therapy, it might help.
Yes there is no medicine for gambling addiction, we have a therapy for this addiction, and it takes few months to complete this therapy. But after completing this therapy also they will not give us 100% assurance that it's cured. Use any therapy or follow any methods finally your self control will make you stop gambling. If you can not control your feelings, any therapy will not help you to stop gambling addiction.

I think worst comes to worst, a medicine would be somewhat effective to a pathological gambler. But the question is what happens if you stop taking this meds? Will your urge to gamble goes back? I guess it will not be effective or it make act as placebo only. Although I haven't meet someone who is taking one, but I  speculate it won't be that effective. And besides, what are the side effects of it? Its a more of a mental, so if you want to really quit then fight the urge and make yourself busy with other things that will take away your mind with gambling. You don't need any medicines to help you.

I don't think any medication will work for an addiction of gambling. I have heard there are some which one of my friends took but it didn't affected much for him. Only you should understand the negativity of gambling and leave nothing else will make you..

You do not require any medicine to control the gambling. Its in build and if you are smart enough to differentiate gambling as a entertainment source and playing only for profit will decide your future. The first one will make you having a great life with no stress of getting addicted and second will lead only to addiction.

I don't have problems as a gambler, I don't do it that often and is just a healthy hobby to me. So no, I never took any meds because of gambling. I didn't knew some guys did that, and I hope they only do it if they are prescript by a doctor. If someone search for those by themselves they could end up addicted to gambling and drugs, and that doesn't look like a good scenario.

Just like the others, I have never ever tried taking a medicine just to prevent myself from being greedy when playing. To be honest, this is the first time that I have heard that such medicine for impulsive gambling exist. Playing gambling is really fun and exciting but it can also make people greedy in playing again and again. It is not just in gambling, because there are also other things that we get addicted and we all know the feeling of holding yourself to do it or to have it. The feeling is the same of being addicted to gambling which is very hard as well as avoiding and preventing yourself to play whenever you want to.

I don’t think that we need a medicine to control ourselves in playing. If such medicine does exist, I believe that it would just convince other people to try gambling and don’t be afraid of getting addicted to it because there is a prevention.

Nope. This really sounds harsh.... medicine to control gambling. IMO if you are at this stage you need a real help from therapist and really need to look for professional help.

I dont even know to have such medicament on the free market. Without a prescription.

Every medicine now require prescription though it's not necessary for medication just changing of routine or having extra activities will be helpful.and mske some time for friends and colleagues to enjoy yourself tgan in gambling.

As for me and just my own opinion, I didn't even heard a drug or an existing drug that could cure gambling addiction. But in the other hand , it is only your own will if you still want to continue gambling or stop it for your own good. We can only suggest some tips or advises but in the end your the only ones making the final descision.
No medicine is better compared to our strong will and mind set-up because those medicines would be useless if your mind is still thinking about playing gambling which would really make the medication more harder on your side compared on the simple thing that we should be serious on quitting which is commonly start on ourselves and do motivate and set strong self discipline that you wont ever do gambling again.

Do you feel the effect? What you mean is an energy drink that can make us not tired of standing or sitting too long when play gambling. Honestly I think it's very unreasonable we need a such drink.

If Magic Bottle is an energy drink then you are absolutely right, the last thing we need to control our impulsive gambling is an energy drink.

However when I tried to google it I haven't found any energy drink with that name. Maybe OP means something else like a soothing drink for example?

Maybe he meant this?

After a bottle of vodka I certainly feel less like going to a casino, they'd probably kick me out anyway, and I wouldn't remember my logins and passwords, so playing online is not the best option either Grin
Oh no no, you should never mix gambling with Vodka, very bad idea. Addicted gamblers behave like they are drunk and thus lose everything quickly. But even if you are not addcited gambler you'll be like one after drinking Vodka.
Well like other said if you drunk your skill will come out your skills and you'll not experience fear when you are betting. not a good idea like you said it can lose your money fast there are no magic solution for addicted gambler it still needs slowly progress to stop gambling..

Agreed. The last thing we need while gambling is the bravado alcohol gives you. Imo the more rational you are the better, and alcohol and rationality rarely go together. But I wouldn't advise to take soothing medicine either because it can dull your mind to the extent you don't want.

Lol what!? Try therapy. What the hell would medicine do other than sedate you so you don't have the will to do anything? Whether you're talking about anti-depressants, beta blockers or good only Mary Jane you're going to be disappointed.

I have never heard anyone take medicine for gambling, even if some one would, what's the guarantee that he would not gamble away that money lol. Instead of Medicines, I would suggest therapy or giving money to some family members or locking it up in bank. There is no fixed medicines for this and one should not even attempt to take it, God knows the side effects it could cause.

I don't think there is a medicine for gambling, all addiction must be cured by psychiatrist, because addiction is an urge to do something that the body can't control, the only medicine that psychiatrist going to give you anxiety pill, but to stop your addiction you can't rely on medicine

Never took anything that could control that feeling. I am very calm person but I had moments when I just snap and do stupid things in a row. I learned to control that feeling, simply have rules that I follow and never give up. It works good for me. Taking medicine like medication is okay but just if person need to get relax a little bit, to calm down but only when it`s necessary. Stress is not good for health . Other type of `medicine`(drugs,drinks..) I don`t know how that would effect on person perception, could change style of gambling completely.

It is a joke  Grin . Control in making the decision gambling certainly exist in each. Because every decision we take will affect the results we will get. I think gambling is a thing that can not be controlled, so once we go into the world of gambling then we will be difficult to get out of it.
